Fantastic local experience!
 
I have done two tours with Margo and recommend her completely. We visited two different villages with local handicrafts, met the artists and learned about their processes. We sampled local food and had wonderful conversations about Oaxaca, art and food! Margo is thoughtful, smart and has great connections with wonderful artists. I true joy.
